Light the Way is Kinship House's annual gathering and raffle to raise funds for therapy and advocacy for children experiencing foster care. With the support of community members and local businesses, Light the Way raises critical, unrestricted funding to provide mental health supports to children who have experienced severe abuse and neglect, and are now faced with regaining their footing in a world that is rapidly changing. Together, we light the way for their ascent.
